What is a Waterproof Mortar?

Waterproof mortar is used to protect structures against water infiltration. It can be used for waterproofing on both the backwater side and the water-facing side, as well as for waterproofing projects for underground areas, roofs, and exterior walls.

Based on versatile chemical additives, the waterproof mortar performs excellent water retaining ability, salt resistance, enhanced adhesion, and thermal stability. As a dominant manufacturer of specialty chemicals, LANDU provides our comprehensive additives portfolio as the best functional additives to ensure better waterproofing performance of waterproof mortar.

What are Additives in Waterproof Mortar Formula?

Waterproof mortar is composed of cement, fine aggregates, and various additives. General additives are binders, water retainers, waterproofing agents, defoamers, and more. As a global leading specialty chemical manufacturer, LANDU remains true to its original aspiration and is always committed to providing customers with the best waterproof mortar solutions by using high-quality and safe additive products to solve all the difficulties and pain points of customers.

LANDU Additives for Your Stronger Waterproof Mortar

LANDU owns multiple brands for different kinds of chemical additives. Let’s learn about them.

LANDERCOLL Cellulose Ethers for Waterproof Mortar

As a core brand under LANDU, LANDERCOLL excels in cellulose ether manufacturing. LANDERCOLL provides Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) and Hydroxyethyl Methyl Cellulose (HEMC), which are used as water-retaining agents in waterproof mortar. It not only ensures sufficient hydration but also strengthens the bonding between the waterproof mortar and the substrate, promising a stable finish in waterproof applications.

ACCURATE Redispersible Latex Powder for Waterproof Mortar

LANDU ACCURATE Redispersible Latex Powder (RDP) is a high-quality additive used for waterproof mortar. Due to the excellent flexibility of RDP powder, it can effectively absorb and release stress, thereby preventing cracks in mortar during the drying process. In addition, this powder can form a dense film in mortar, effectively preventing the penetration of water and other harmful substances. This not only improves the waterproof performance of the mortar, but also enhances its resistance to chemical substances.
